CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Members of the Kentucky State Troopers Vehicle Enforcement Unit along with Logan County Sheriff’s Deputies took a man into custody Wednesday for the stabbing death of a man in Clarksville earlier this week.
The suspect, 35-year-old Rodney Keith Brown, was apprehended in Olmstead, Ky. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and he will likely be extradited to Montgomery County later today.
